100,000 miles in an FRS changed my life

Thanks!

I've changed the tranny fluid twice and diff twice at the same time, both with Motul fluids at AZP Installs. I'm not exactly sure on the change intervals, maybe 50k and 75k? It's due again.

The tranny has no issues and shifts like new.

Anyone else get turned on when he said, "The where your eyes go, hands will follow." No? Just me? Alright.

There is a book called "Racing in the Rain" and a recurring theme is "the car goes where the eyes go"

If you are a dog and car guy/gal you should check it out.

I think he was making a joke.

Same for motorcycles and bicycles.
Stop staring at that tree or pothole.

Read the book. A guy has a chance to race on the European circuit and his sidekick is a dog. I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

It's on books on cd too for those stuck with long commutes.

Sat from June to December on a battery tender with a full tank, and fired right up when the snow started flying.



That was when Toyota quality was a real thing...

You might have missed the Subaru stamps all over the car. Having owned several of each brand, the FR-S certainly has Subaru (lack of) build quality because it is largely a Subaru. I thrashed the hell out of my 2010 4Runner and it was perfect when I traded it in. Not a single rattle after 4 years of off-roading, stream crossing, and crossing the eastern continental divide in snow and ice. I missed it so much that I bought another one.
